Experience

1 Acatzingo is a small town that holds a great jewel. In the beautiful and typically of Puebla Parish of San Juan Evangelista you will find wood, onyx and Talavera. Within three extraordinary altarpieces await you in Capilla de la Virgen de los Dolores (the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows) and the chapel of the Virgin of Solitude. In front of the portals of XVI century of the Ex-convento de San Juan Evangelista is located.

2 Continue to Tepeaca. The Ex-convento of San Francisco de Asís is a real fortress. Look at the passage of the single door round about. In the main square you will see the Parish of San Francisco, inside which one worships the Holy Child Jesus Doctor of the Sick, highly revered. Tepeaca was a strategic point of Camino Real. Here lived Hernan Cortes, and a tower known as El Rollo was monitoring location and pillory.

3 The next stop is Tecali Herrera, onyx city where you will find shops and stores. In the main garden photogenic ruins of the former Convent of Santiago of Tecali (s. XVI) rise. In the Temple dedicated to the same saint you will find the original altarpiece of the convent. Opposite the former convent, an unexpected discovery: an ancient Corral of comedy that is still in use.

4 Finale of this tour is undoubtedly the stunning Ex-convento of Saint John the Baptist in Cuauhtinchán, a town steeped in history. Its spectacular altarpiece, 1570, is the oldest of Mexico. In The cloister, around the fountain dominated by the pelican symbol of unconditional love, the small museum is worth seeing.There are even remains of mammoth!
